Servicing

 

 

Servicing: It’s all you can manage in an Order. The following is a summary of the servicing functionality available through our NDC API.

1. Add or modify passenger data

Name

You can correct a passenger name (3 characters max).

Passenger contact information

You can add or modify contact information for passengers.

Is not possible to cancel only the additional services (ancillaries, SSR) in an Order (you must call contact center), it is only possible to cancel them if you cancel the passenger to whom they are associated.

See all options on OrderChange page. This also includes Frequent Flyer.

Frequent Flyer

Iberia Plus

We accept Frequent Flyer numbers of any airline, although we only validate Iberia Plus. Accrual of points is only on those airlines with whom we have agreements.

We only accept one Frequent Flyer number in the booking for each passenger (excluding infants).

To update an existing Frequent Flyer number you simply include the new one.

The deletion of an existing Frequent Flyer number is not presently available.

See all the information at Frequent Flyers page.

On Business

This is a type of Frequent Flyer program for SMEs (PyMes). By entering the On Business ID in the booking points are earned.

On Business numbers can be added or changed in an Order in the same way as the Frequent Flyer, simply using the OrderChange message and including the <PassengerServicing> section with the new information.

To update an existing On Business number you simply include the new one.

The deletion of an existing On Business number is not presently available.

2. Ancillaries & Special Services

Ancillaries can be booked in the initial booking flow and paid for with the flights.

Ancillaries can also be booked and held in unpaid (on hold) Orders, to be paid with the flights in the servicing flow.

Ancillaries can only be added to an Order after it has been paid for and issued.

Is not possible to cancel only the additional services (Ancillaries, Special Services) in an Order (you must call contact center), it is only possible to cancel them if you cancel the passenger and the flights to which they are associated.

Additional services can only be changed by calling the contact center today.

Please note: Some Ancillaries have their own Payment Time Limit; and Special Services can only be booked in OrderCreate.

See our Ancillaries & Special Services page.
